PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part o Letters Patent No. 365,500, dated June 28,1867.

Application lilcd November 2i, 1886. Serial No. 220,018. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom) t may concern:

Be it known that l, MA'rHIAs M. APPLEMAN, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Rohrsburg, in thecounty of Columbia and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPumps; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will venable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto .the accompanying drawings, and to the letters andfigures'ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to pumps; and it con 'sists in the novelfeatures, more fully herein'- after set forth and claimed, and shown inthe v annexed drawings, in which Figure l is a front view. Fig.`2 is avertical central sectional view on the line X X, of4

Fig. l; Fig. 3, a section on the line Y Y of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a sectionon the line Z Z, Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view, having thepumpstoek removed.

The object of the invention is to prevent the freezing of the water inthe pumpstock by utilizing the warm air from the well, which by' thepeculiar construction is made to surround the pjump stock and ward oft'the cold air.

Another object is to allow the rising aud falling of the door, owing tovariation in temperature, without disturbing the pump-stock,

and to make the case in sections which maybe readily separated and puttogether in ease it should become necessary to remove it for any reason.Y

The pump-stock Ais of usual construction and length, and is designed torest upon the bottomv of the well. Near the upper end it is .providedwith the usual dischargespout, A', and handle A2 for operating thepiston or plunger-rod A3. The iioor or wellcovering B, having anopening,'B, for the passage of the pump-stock considerably enlarged .forthe escape of thewarm. air of the well, has blocks or projectionsextending inward to rest against the sides of the pump-stock and holdthe same steady. The case C, surrounding the upper portion of thepump-stock, is sufficiently large to leave a space between it and thepump-` stock. Thelower end is provided with notches c, to t over theblocks b, which prevent lateral displacement thereof and form asupport.The upper end is provided with a cover, C', centrallyapertured andhaving a depending dange, which surrounds it. A supplemental cover, G2,supported at a distance above the cover C', prevents dirt, 85e., fromdropping through the opening therein from above. A second case, D,surrounds the lower portion of the case C. The sides incline, forming awider space near thev base between it and the case. than at the t`op. Itsurrounds the opening B and is held in place by a projecting strip, b.The spout A projects through openings in the cases C D, which'openingsare'elongated in a vert-ical direction to permit an up and down movementof the cases with the floor without injury to the spout or liability ofbreaking the same off. The end of the spout projecting beyond the outercasing is protected and inclosed byasmall side easing or compartment, E,formed by the side of the pieces e, top and bottom e', and a hingedcover, e2, the latter being for covering anduncovering th'e mouth of thespout. The casing or compartment which incloses the spout is so formedthat its parts separate when the parts of the main casing are separated.A series of openings, f, formed through the case C below the junction ortop of the outer case, permits the warm air escaping from the Well intothe case D to pass from the latter into the case C, which with the warmair therein escapes through the opening in the cover. A second series ofopenings, f', formedin the pumpstock at a distance above the spout,permits a certain amount of warm air to pass from the case into thepump-stock, which will prevent the settling of the cold air upon the topof the water in the pump-stock and the freezingy of the same. The coveris made detachable and the casings are made in two halves or sections,which are tted together by tongueand-groove joints and held in place bythe depending flange or rim of the cover and the projecting strip b. Y l

From the foregoing description, reference being had to the drawings, theoperation of the device is manifest; hence a further description isdeemed unnecessary.

IOO

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent,

1. The combination, with the well cover or bottom having an opening, andthe pumpstock of less area in cross-section than the opening, of blocksor projections extending inward from the sides of the opening andbearing against the sides ofthe stock, and a case having notches in itslower edge corresponding with the projections over which they fit, asand for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, with the Well cover or bottom having an openingtherein, a strip snrronnding said opening and located ata distance fromits edge, and a pump-stock passed through the opening, of a doublecasing surrounding the upper portion of thestock, made in halves jointedtogether, one-half having an opening for the passage of the pump-handle,

and each half having a portion ont from its meeting edge, forming anopening when the parts are placed together for the passage of thepump-spout, and the cover having a depending rim to surround the upperend of the halves, which halves are held together by the stripsurrounding the opening in the bottom and the rim of the cover,substantially as sot forth.

3. A separable casing for inelosing the 3o pump-stock, and a separablespout-casing attached to the separable parts of the stockeasing, andadapted to inclose the spout, substantially as and for purposes setforth.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature 35 in presence of two Witnesses.

MATHIAS M. APPLEMAN.
